BugGuide says:
Banasa dimidiata = Banasa dimiata (Say 1832)
Say's original spelling was dimiata, but the emendation dimidiata is now accepted by American workers.
EOL says:
Say (1831) originally described this species as Pentatoma dimiata, but LeConte (1859) emended the name to dimidiata. While some have accepted this emendation (Hoffman 2005), both names remain in use (Froeschner 1988).

By rules of nomenclature, dimiata is the valid name - by custom, we should use dimidiata here, because BG does.

Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
